Base Class: Ranger
You have trained at the Aviary Guild to become a master caretaker. You have had the unique honor of handling the most exotic species of birds. After graduation, you were given 3 rare birds to watch over. Your three companions follow you on your adventure and assist you, sometimes in unexpected ways.
Aviary Key
As a right of passage, you have received an Aviary Key. It acts as a guild seal and allows you to summon birds from the Aviary Guild.
Code of Honor
Your guild has modified the Speak with Animals spell to be performed as a 30 second ritual. The incantation only requires a verbal component and it doubles as The Aviary
Guild’s Code of Honor. After reciting this code, you are able to speak with any species of bird for 10 minutes. You can perform the Code of Honor twice a day. Requires an Aviary Key.
Three Nestlings
You are able to summon 3 birds from the Aviary Guild Birds list. The birds will circle above you until you call one of them down to your side. You may only have one bird active at your side. You may use your action to command the bird to perform an action. When you gain the extra attack feature, your bird can perform a melee or ranged attack in place of your extra attack. You may spend one action calling another bird to your side. If you do this, your previous bird is dismissed to circle above. You cannot swap birds indoors. To replace one of your birds, you must spend 8 hours communing with your Aviary Key to summon it from the Aviary Guild. When a new bird is summoned, you must choose one to be sent back to the Aviary Guild.
Phoenix Bloodline
All of The Aviary Guild’s birds are magically infused with a trait of the Phoenix. If one of your birds dies, it reverts to an egg and falls to the ground. The egg is magically reinforced. It has an AC of 20 and 10 HP. You must spend 8 hours communing with your Aviary Key to magically hatch and nurse the bird to full size.
Caregiver
When your bird is the target of a physical melee or ranged attack, and it is within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to redirect the attack to yourself. Additionally, when your bird is within 5 feet of you, it’s AC is increased by 2, it has advantage on all spell saving throws, and it does not take damage on a successful save.
Swap Attack
Starting at 7th level, you may use your action to command your currently summoned bird and a bird of your choice to attack the target in tandem. Each bird performs a melee weapon attack. You choose one of the two birds to remain summoned when Swap Attack is complete.
